Sheriff’s officials: Body located in Kishwauketoe Nature Conservancy, family of missing man notified

WALWORTH COUNTY (WITI) — Walworth County Sheriff’s officials say a body has been discovered in the Kishwauketoe Nature Conservancy — and the family of a missing man has been notified.

The body was discovered around noon on Thursday, September 11th.

Walworth County Sheriff’s officials say the body is that of a male — but the body’s identity hasn’t yet been determined.

Sheriff’s officials say the body was discovered by volunteers, looking for Brian Bates — the Williams Bay man missing since August 24th. Those volunteers apparently came upon a makeshift campsite off of Harris Road. The body was located near the campsite.
